Parco naturale dei laghi di Avigliana

The protected area encompasses 409 hectares of land with two glacial lakes, morainic hills, and the Mareschi wetland near the Susa Valley entrance.

Archaeological excavations during peat extraction revealed artifacts from prehistoric civilizations, now displayed in Turin's Museum of Antiquity and university collections.

The park features educational museum points that present the history of fishing activities in Avigliana Lakes from the Bronze Age to modern times.

Visitors can access multiple trails, information centers, and fishing areas, with specialized infrastructure designed for people with different mobility needs.

The lakes attract numerous water birds during autumn and winter, including grebes that perform mating dances on the water surface.
